God didn't promise us a bed of roses
But He promised that He'll be with us
He said that we will walk through the valleys
And He'll be the Light that guides us

In the midst of tribulation, I'm glad I have friends who walk beside me. They never fail to make things easier. Two is always better than one... Without them, life is madness. Without God, I am.. nothing. Really. He's my strength when I am weak, my feet when I can't move on.. My eyes when I can't see any hope.

I had an amazing encounter with Him 2 days ago.. He told me that I don't have to go through this alone and that no matter how unfaithful I am, He's there for me.. Always. That was all I needed to hear.. There was such peace, like I was in a bubble admist a chaos..
I was singing "Sanctuary" and one line hit me like never before..

You choose to live in me
I'm so amazed...

Like, why would God want to live in an ordinary me? Simply because He loves me, with His agape love. There's nothing more I can ask for...
You know there's this song that goes,

Take me out of the shallow water
Where I can stand on my own..
Carry me over the deeper part
I trust in You alone..

It's only when we stop leaning on our own puny strength and depend on God's, then that's when all the fun begins! Who still goes to the wading pool anyway? Bring me to the ocean! Where I can swim with the dolphins! I know there are blood-stained sharks lurking around, but I also know that with God I don't have to be afraid!

These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”
John 16:33
